Answer:
An investment center
Explanation:
A division, firm, work team or department that directly contributes to the company's profit gain is referred to as an investment center. On the contrary, a cost center is a department that does not directly contribute to profit, but represents mainly a cost for the company, although it benefits the business.
Chester's firm is an investment center, as he keeps his overhead costs at a minimum and does outsourcing in terms of HR.
Answer:
(B). 50 cents
Explanation:
<u>Marginal cost</u><u> is the cost incurred by producing or purchasing one more unit of an item.</u>
If Jordan buys two tacos and a medium drink, it will cost him $2 and 50 cents or 250 cents (80 + 80 + 90).
However, if he opts for the value meal of three tacos and a medium drink, that costs $3 (300 cents), then he would be purchasing one additional taco at a marginal cost of 50 cent.
Marginal cost of additional unit of taco = 300 cents - 250 cents = 50 cents.
Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Direct Materials = $386,100
Direct Labor = $200,100
Factory Overhead = $220,300 and,
Selling Expenses = $39,500
Conversion costs = Direct labor + factory overhead
= $200,100 + $220,300
= $420,400
Therefore, the conversion costs for the company is $420,400.
Answer:
The optimal production plan gives a total costs of $417,672 for the periods Feb to May
In Feb we will have to hire 26 workers to close the gap between demand and production from our 100 existing workers
In March however, we will have to lay them off (26 workers) to keep our production in line with demand.
In April, we are constrained to 100 workers, thus requiring that we run overtime. The overtime requirement is between 3,060 hours to max of 5,000 hours. Note that inspire of the hours chosen, demand for April still won't be fulfilled.
The best option will be the one that gives us last backlog because of the costs of backorder being extremely costly.
5,000 overtime hours in April is the best option .
In May, we are constrained to our 100 workers, meaning we will fulfill our back orders and also retain inventory in hand of 7,760 units.
The 3 pages attached show how the cost is worked out and the presentation as well.
